The zkMe team has successfully raised $4 million in a Seed round led by Multicoin Capital, with participation from OKX Ventures and Robot Ventures. The project aims to empower users by enabling them to control their digital identity and reuse verified credentials seamlessly. Separately, g8keep has secured $1.25 million from Robot Ventures, the Base Ecosystem Fund, EchoXYZ syndicate groups, and various angel investors. The platform intends to address flaws in token launching and trading, focusing on providing a secure and transparent environment for users. The team behind g8keep emphasizes the need for a complete re-architecture of current launchpads, which they believe are fundamentally broken. They have officially opened beta sign-ups for their platform, promoting it as a solution to protect users from bots and untrustworthy actors in the market.
